As I’ve explained in my post, for Q-Switched to be truly effective, you would need a minimum of 5-8 sessionsthough fewer sessions is possible depending on your skin condition.

Following a rest of a few months, I thought my face deserved another rejuvenation so I paid the Clique familia another visit.

Josh being Josh was as usual intuitive to all his clients. He instinctively knew what I’m seeking for; rejuvenated skin, glowing complexion and clear skin. It was opportune then as Clique Clinic had just launched their very own signature laser treatment for the face named Twilight Glow Pro treatment.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) itself is not new. This technology requires your own blood to be drawn and then spun in a centrifuge. This process separate the platelets from the other elements of blood.

Only the platelet-rich plasma is then used; usually by injection into the injured or healing- required areas.

The reason is; when PRP is used in injured or sun/ time-damaged tissues they can induce a remodeling of the tissue to a more healthy and younger state, thus promote healing and tissue responses including attracting stem cells to repair the damaged area.

How isTwilight Glow Pro Treatment by Cliquedone and why is it different from the usual PRP?

PRP is usually done via injection in the cleaned, anaesthetisedskin in either small lines or tiny dots in the deeper skin layer. This is administered on open wound or about the injured areas.

In Clique Clinic, it is pretty much the same way, EXCEPT that Fractional Laser is used to stimulate the “injury“.

Twilight Glow Pro by Clique is done on the face and the face wouldn’t have injuries on normal days correct?

So the fractional laser (using low laser energy) is used to remove the outer layer skin and the PRP (your own platelet rich plasma) is then massaged onto your face. With the skin (epidermis layer) broken, the PRP can be absorbed directly into the skin and stimulate regeneration.

The benefit of using your own tissue is to eliminate allergies and there is the added intrigue of mobilising your own stem cells.

2. I was told to lie down and had my face washed before a numbing cream was applied. The cream is then left on the face and neck for a total of 45 minutes. During this time my blood was taken and the blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to produce the platelet rich plasma – PRP.

3. Once the platelet rich plasma (PRP) is separated from the blood, it is then drawn from the tube into a small syringe.

With the syringe of my PRP in hand, Dr Bob proceeds with the treatment.

Dr Bob controls the Fractional Laser while his assistant simultaneously pump out and massage the PRP over my face and neck. As I’ve mentioned above the role of the Fractional Laser was to remove the outer layer of the face/neck and prepare the face/neck surface to absorb the PRP.

As you can see below, there are red patches on my face and neck from the fractional laser administered earlier.

The whole process takes about 1 – 1.5 hours and there is no downtimeat all.

Advanced Filler: (RM 380) For normal to dry skin, this acts as an anti-wrinkle cream.

2 months after (end of April):

My face and neck is still looking clear and good!

With proper care and reliable products (sunscreen is a must) the glow and rejuvenated skin from Twilight Glow Pro by Clique should last 2-3 months. This procedure can be repeated for long term maintenance.

Clique’s Twilight Glow Pro treatment on the other hand focuses on instant rejuvenation and radiance. The procedure stimulates skin surface renewal via the regeneration of skin cells (as the result from the fractional laser) to reveal brighter, smoother and tighter complexion.

There is no downtime for both procedures though individual skin conditions may yield varying results. Patients might experience redness and mild itchiness on the treated area (face/neck).
